RIEWOLDT has always been overpaid IMO ! He has never been able to kick straight - how can he be on such ridiculous money ? The SAINTS have always treated their better players like demi gods and ROO is no different. Im sorry Im sure there will be angry responses but IMO Lenny HAYES and Sam FISHER ca...

There are some undeniable facts. Lyon's management (Elite) concluded a deal with St Kilda they felt was acceptable to all parties. They arranged to have their client come in and sign the contract. St Kilda felt confident enough that it had concluded a deal with Lyon that they called a press confere...

All things considered I was a huge fan of Ro$$y's time at our club. Fundamentally, I'd much rather us kick 12 goals and win by 5, than kick 14 and loose by 8. I remember the 80's, late 90's, early 2000's... St Kilda winning can never be boring. I also believe that he was going to address the needs ...

No gaurantee of a High Def coverage of the GF?

Crazy if true!

Whilst also wanting the best possible coverage, I hope the GF (and other major events) are never soley on pay TV.

Agreed, but Ro$$y will soon find that he is not lucky to have the Purple Pukers.

Hi SaintBrat, I'm no mind reader, but I really, really appreciate your wonderful contributions to the club and to this site. And I'm also really, really confident that I'm not Robinson Crusoe on this one.

Yep let's build a stadium in Frankston. People seriously have no idea. We'd be paying it off for years, and building in the middle of nowhere. There are enough complaints about our training base. Imagine a whole stadium. Some people really want to go backwards strategically. No worries Spinner, non...

Anyway I don't reckon Barlow, Broughton, Crowley, Mzungu, De Boer, Lower are soft... Probalby not. I guess I'm refering to the Purple Daze as an organisation as a whole. With the huge supporter base and history drawn from the two proud WAFL Freo clubs, one would have expected a whole lot more. FWIW...

I realise it has been discussed before but I am watching rd 22 1999 and guy McKenna called for a head count, is this the last time it has been done on the AFL? Sydney were fined for having a 19th man on the field But was a head count actually done?> http://www.canberratimes.com.au/news/local/sport/...

Ouch! Treated like that, no wonder he left the club. Painful.

Ro$$y heading for the Dreamons would explain Misson's move, wonder if he's regretting jumping too soon before Ro$$y had inked the deal??? As for the about face to the Shockers, well at least it's one bruise-free footy club to another for Ro$$y. So does anyone out there with some inside info care to...

I reckon having a true home ground advantage would help us with the first desire, and who knows, maybe the Saints Disco with the second, though I don't doubt that you can 'fend for yourself' ???

Lets face it the AFL dont want it, the councils wont pay for it and there are bugger all votes in it so the Vic goovernement couldnt give a stuff... Sadly that's currently true. ...and personally I would rather go to the city where there are pubs and nightlife than go to Frankston Last time I was i...

...One danger...the Princes Park redevelopment almost sent Carlton FC underwater..! At least we don't have a colourful Elder failed businessman ego who was let off embezzlement charges on a technicality, so we should be ok on that count. :wink: [Not sure anyone is going to build a 100 million dolla...

Only Saints fans in our village here in Oxfordshire are me and my three sons. They have to otherwise I'd kick them out. Well done Verdun! :D I've never understood parents who fail to pass on the true faith to their children. Sometimes modern parents have a lot to answer for... :?: Be nice if the ex...

I live in Collingwood. Great suburb. :) Shame about the football club. :( me too and there are two others in our street there used to be a guy, mad as a hatter, rode his pushy around Abbotsford / Collingwood with an old tattered Saints jumper with the number 66 on the back Great to hear. I'm in Mat...

I still reckon Ross was going to Melb, and Freo just got the deal done in a more efficient $$$ kind of way. Spot on 100%. The amount of things that happened that day were jaw dropping... Imagine all the events that took place that we dont know about and changed from minute to minute. it would certa...

I never lived south of the Yarra, different mob down there. Too many DJs and not enough bands. We had The Punters Club, they had Chasers. No contest! Beautifully put! :D Same for the rest of your post Austinn. :D FWIW, I have a (French) friend in Paris who is a saints supporter. The reason; her fir...

I live in Collingwood.

Great suburb. Shame about the football club.

If any player is replaced coz someone has gone past them, as distinct from them going backwards, then that is good for the team I reckon. As for Dean P, I like him. Tough as, wins the hard ball, surprisingly good mark & very quick hands. Kicking is the perceived weakness. But not if he doesn't h...

Thanks for that Paul. I hear the pragmatists on this post, but everyone has to draw a line somewhere. I think I'd draw mine in about the same place as you. Plus you make a very sound point re the pragmatic disadvantages of being linked with gambling, as well as the moral reasons. I hope that you can...

I'll declare an interest. PaulB is a mate of mine. However..... Be interested in what Paul says about the Geelong situation. I know he's already asked a few questions of 'Eddie Everywhere' and what the Pies get up to. Probably only fair he asks the same questions of the club he and his family are m...

Part 1 - The meeting They locked us out of the hall till almost 7:00. Meeting began at 7:05 Good to hear. We were the first club in the league to ever be fined - for turning up late. I'm proud of that stat. Punctuality is overrated. All present except Saad who has had a death in the family. Condole...

I sure hope you're right. Coz that alone added to last year's (team) output would put us into another grannie (at worst) I reckon.
